The friends of Rev. K. d. and Mrs
Price of South Bend, gave them sur
prise on the evening of the oath inst.
in their new brick residence, it being
the thirty-fifth anniversary of then
marriage. Over a hundred friends gath.
cred to extend their congratulations,
and so completely by surprise were the
good people taken that they could not
sustain themselves. Only few minutes
however, were required for all hands to
recover their wonted equilibrium, when
a jolly good time was had. From one
who was there we are told that over SIS
worth of presents were left with the
worthy couple. Among other presents
were two large easy chairs, sofa, u bu-
reau and splendid lot Of table and
other linens. Mr.. Price Is one of the
pioneer settlers of South Bend, he hav-
ing resided there for about 81 years, and
all who know him and his estimable
wife have only the warmest friendship
for them. May they live to see many
anniversaries, and may each be as en-
ioyable as the last is the wish Of all.

ARE YOU NOT BEING swINDLED

Only few of our people in Mankato
are aware of the swindle that is being
and has been practiced upon them for a
long time. A steal of considerable pro-
portion on the whole. As we under
stand it, there is an understanding be-
tween the weigher and the seller that
the seller is to get a certificate of weights
for more hay than the load actually con.
tains, all the way from 10to 800 pounds TO
the load. Thescales that nearly all hay
Is weighed on are old and dilapidated,
unfit for use, and should be condemned
at once by our authorities.
1t seems that these scales and weigh
master are giving the hay sellers such
good satisfaction that 1t is most impos-
sible for anyone to get load weighed
on any other scales. We hear of many
complaints of other articles being
weighed with equal bad results of incor.
rect weights, on the same scales, There
are other new and first-class scales in
the same neigborhood. Why not have
weighing done correct, that we may gel
what we pay for? We understand that
there is committee at work to collect
evidence to prosecute this matter, ii
no change for the better, as this is an
outrage on the people of Mankato and
they will not submit any longer to it.

Lumbar Statistics

CuIcAao, Feb 1.-THE North,oesterR Lum-
buman in its issue Of tomorrow will print
statistics as TO the lumber trade for the
Northwest for 1885, with comparisons with
the product of former years, The grand
total of the white pine lumber product
OF the Northwest for 1885 was 1926
$4,000 feet. This is three hundred
and seventy million feet in excess Of
the preceding year, and is only slightly
short of the total cut for the years 1882, 's3,
-. The greatest gains were in the older
milling districts. The grand total of the
shingle product Of the Northwest was
4,b77, 53l, 900 shingles, which is a larger
showing than in any preceding year. Fig
ures are cited as showing that the maxi
mum annual lumber product of white pine
districts has probably not yet been reached.
The stock Of lumber on hand at mills at
the close of the year is placed at 3,05S 093,
600 feet or one hundred and seventy mil
lion feet less than at the close of 1885, and
four hundred and fifty million feet less
than in 1884. The stocks Of shingles were
thirty -fve millions more than in 1885 and
two hundred million less than in 1884.

FOUR MEN KILLED
And Eighty Horses Burned to
Death in a Livery Stable.
Falling walls Cause Fearful Calamity
Iirenen and Citizens Buried Ian the
Ruins.

BT. LOUIS, Mo-, Feb. 9.ATo-night fire was
discovered in the large livery stables of
Jesse Arnot, At Ninth and Chestnut
streets The flames spread so RAPIDLY
among the combustibles that 1t was with
difficulty any OF the horses could be re-
moved. About forty animals were finally
extricated from the burning building, but
eighty horses were burned TO death amid
the most pitfable demonstrations of
agony. About half an hour after
the fire broke out tho west wall
fell out, letting the upper floors
down, and several men were caught
and buried. -Four pipomen Of No q Engine
Company were OF the number, and one OF
them, John Finnerty, is still under tho
ruins, or supposed 10 be, as he can not bo
found, and a pipeman standing beside him
when the crash came Is sure he was caught
In the worst part. Jack McGrath, pipeInan
of the same com pany, was taken out seri.
ously bruised aud burned. Tbs other
fremen escaped with slight in.
juries. About u dozen men In all were
caught, tho others being employees and
volunteers helping 20 carry out property.
Charley Mansch was taken out nearer dead
than alive. He is now at the CITY Hospital,
and will probably die. WIN. ii. Cooney,
son OF the senior member of the Cooney
Wagon Works, was badly injured, but
will recover, AS is the case also with
Wesley Emerson, an employee. Two stran-
gers, whose names could not bo learned,
were dangerously injured, and were
taken TO the hospital as soon as rescued.
They were pulling out buggy when
caught by the crash. Almost the entire
stable, q building one hundred feet wide,
and running north and south from Chest
nut TO Market street, and three stories
high. is now in ruins, only portions Of tho
two fronts being saved. The loss, as now
estimated, is fully $4,000. The fire
burned very rapidly, but the horses wero

The Mad Waters Causing Great
Damage.
Buildings Mt Lyons washed Away and tho
People Panic-stricken.

LToSs, Mich, Feb 1.-THE food here is
Of the people, and it is impossible TO get
estimates Of the losses. The water in some
places is four feet deep in many residences
and the same state Of affairs prevails in
store-rooms. Every body is moving, or
preparing to move. Upto last night three
buildings had been washed away and de-
molished, and many others were
badly damaged. Alexander McFarlane's
family are sick and cut of from
assistance. The Herald office has
been boated to higher quarters, but the
paper will be published as usual. Rain
fell in torrents until about midnight, when
II changed to snow and by daylight fully
eight inches OF snow and sleet had fallen.
There is q regular NORTHEASTERN, with
twenty-mile wind The water has risen
two feet in the last four hours and is still
rising. The people are worn out working
night and day to save their property. The
Maple and Grand rivers unite here, and
both are raging. Should tho Lansing ice
reach here before the gorge gives way all
the business places on the north side OF
Main street will be washed away. A rough
estimate Of the damage makes the aggre-
gate between $4,000 and 100000. Fred
Winters, Of Charlotte, was drowned when
trying to cross the Thornapple river.

LincoIn's Hearse Burned.

ST. Louis, Feb. TO- Besides the pecuniary
loss which resulted last night from the de-
struction Of Jesse Arnots livery stable,
one loss was suffered, which il irrepar-
able. The hearse in which the remains Of
President Abraham Lincoln were conveyed
TO their last resting place was consumed
in the flames. This hearse was built by
Mr., Arnot for that especial purpose, and
since that day has never been out OF the
building. Mr.. Arnot had received many Of
fcrs for this vehicle, but has always re-
fused TO part with it, preferring to retain
II as sacred relic
